Air ambulance
Air ambulance
We arrange medical evacuation and repatriation flights worldwide, around the clock. ICU-equipped aircraft, coordinated medical teams and complete bed-to-bed care — planned with precision, handled with dignity.
When this fits
Critical care, in the air.
-
Medical evacuation (medevac)
Urgent transport of a patient from where they are — a remote location, a region with limited care, or a place where it is no longer safe to stay — to the nearest facility able to treat them. We respond at short notice and coordinate the full chain of care.
-
Medical repatriation
Returning a patient to their home country for continued treatment and recovery, surrounded by family. Planned carefully around the patient’s condition, with the right aircraft and medical team for the distance.
-
Bed-to-bed care
Ground ambulance, transfer to the aircraft, in-flight care and onward transfer to the receiving hospital — managed as one continuous journey, with continuous clinical supervision throughout.
Process
From first call to bedside.
-
Initial assessment
Patient condition, current and receiving facility, urgency. Medical fit-to-fly review before any operator is contacted.
-
Operator sourcing
Medically-configured aircraft and clinical team matched to the case. Multiple options when timing allows.
-
Coordination
Hospital handover, ground ambulance both ends, customs and immigration cleared in parallel.
-
Transfer
Continuous medical care from bedside to bedside. Family liaison maintained throughout.
Pricing
Insurance and payment.
Many international health and travel insurance policies cover medically necessary air ambulance transport, in full or in part. Our coordinators can liaise with your insurer or assistance company and set out the costs clearly. Where time is critical, we move first and resolve the administration in parallel.
All prices are indicative only. Final pricing depends on operator availability, aircraft, slots, and routing on the day. Every quote is itemised.
Safety
Equipped for critical care.
The aircraft we arrange carry hospital-grade equipment appropriate to the mission — transport ventilators, cardiac monitors and defibrillators, infusion pumps, oxygen and suction systems, secured stretchers with integrated power and monitoring, and neonatal incubators or isolation systems where required. Each flight is staffed for the patient’s needs — typically a flight physician and a critical-care nurse or paramedic, all trained in flight physiology. Jet Supply is a charter broker: we arrange your medical flight with specialist air ambulance operators and their clinical teams, who hold responsibility for the medical care and the operation of the aircraft. Our role is to coordinate the right aircraft, the right medical team and the full logistics chain — so that you can focus on the patient.
-
Medical operator certification
Valid medical-transport approval in the operator's home jurisdiction. Verified on every contract.
-
Clinical team qualifications
Medical team composition matched to patient acuity — physician, nurse, paramedic combinations per case. Credentials verified before transfer.
-
Aircraft configuration
Stretcher, oxygen, suction, monitoring, defibrillation, infusion pumps and (where required) neonatal incubators or isolation systems confirmed against patient needs before departure.
-
Receiving handover
Receiving facility readiness confirmed in writing before take-off. No transfer departs without a confirmed bed.
Frequently asked
Air ambulance questions, answered.
When time is critical, we begin immediately and can often have a medically-equipped aircraft moving within hours, depending on the patient’s location, condition and the permits required.
Evacuation moves a patient urgently to the nearest suitable care. Repatriation returns a patient to their home country for continued treatment once they are stable enough to travel.
In most cases, yes. Depending on the aircraft and the patient’s condition, a family member can usually accompany the flight. We confirm this when planning.
Often, yes — many policies cover medically necessary transport. We can work directly with your insurer or assistance company.
Cost depends on distance, aircraft, the medical team and the equipment required. We provide a clear quote quickly, and prioritise arranging the flight when time is short.
Yes. We arrange ICU-equipped aircraft and, where needed, isolation systems, with medical teams experienced in complex transport.
